Monochrome Monday--Ooops!

I changed the setting on my camera to take B & W photos & forgot to change it back!

So, I took a bunch of photos in that mode!

I uploaded them & saw my mistake, but I like them this way!

From the Garden

 These are the 2 varieties of cherry tomatoes that I am growng in my garden--Matt's Wild Cherry and Sungold

Getting lots of chumps of them--so easy to just pop them in my mouth right after I pick them!  Yum!

Friends & Bison

For about a week I had been chatting with my friend, Carol about her coming over to see the bison--she is a painter and wants to take some photos & then create paintings.  So I arranged with my neighbor Theresa to take us on the farm to see them.

And I couldn't pass up a photo of the Highland Cattle--the 2 females are expecting, too!

Go Fly a Kite!

Spent a fun Sunday afternoon on Isla with Gaby, Marilyn and Miguel ( Gaby's boyfriend)  he's very inventive.  he decided to make a kite--using a teeshirt fot the body and the tail of the kite.

Tough to find the space to fly a kite on the crowded beach on a Sunday afternoon--but they did!

Marilyn!

Success!

Now it's stuck in a palm tree!

Relaxing on the beach --- a fun afternoon!

Spring Flowers and Trader Joes

I went to the "Big City" ( Hartford) yesterday to the Elizabeth Park Spring Greenhouse Show. 

It was so nice to see some spring flowers because I don't think we'll see any here--still have at least a foot of snow over all my flower beds!

This is a small selection of the photos I took--will be posting more in the coming days.

these next 2 tulips were my favorites

Love this color!

These are funny looking little flowers--I have a few growing near some Hyacinth.  And a trip to the area always includes a stop at Trader Joes so I can stock up on stuff I can't get closer to home!

TBT-- Bermuda 2002

I went on a cruise to Bermuda with my Mom & Jenny to celebrate their milestone birthdays ( 80 & 50).  My Mom had commented to me that a cruise sounded nice, but she couldn't fly comfortably so we found a trip out of Boston.  What a great way to see Bermuda--it can be very expensive to stay & eat in Bermuda, but this way you get your meals on the ship.  We met many people that had done the cruise multiple times ( don't think I would ever do that!)  The photo is of Gombey dancers that performed in the square in St. George where the ship was docked.Gombey dancers
